100951-3

LOINC code 100951-3 identifies "Loneliness Office of National Statistics panel". The loneliness (ONS) panel is an alternative to other loneliness panel based on the United Kingdom's Office of National Statistics (ONS). The loneliness (ONS) panel captures patients' perception of loneliness and social relationships. Each level is indicated using a traffic-light metaphor with written labels, color, position and emojis. For individuals, each item response level is scored on a 0-3 ordinal scale, with hardly ever = 3, occasionally = 2, sometimes = 1, and often = 0. A summary score is calculated by adding the item scores for each item and giving a scale from 0 to 12. A summary score is not calculated if any item scores are missing. For cohorts, mean scores are shown on a 0 to 100 scale. Item scores are multiplied by 100 and divided by 3; summary scores are multiplied by 100 and divided by 12. Mean scores are usually rounded to the nearest whole number [PMID: 32198234].
